There was no pain anywhere on his body, but none of it was as painful as the disappointed look in Nie Qingru's eyes when he looked at him in the hotel that day.
"The medicine has been changed, and the patient should pay more attention to rest."
The doctor changed his medicine and gave him some instructions.
Nie Qixing ignored them and even gave them a stingy look, as if these doctors and nurses were not worth his attention.
The doctor was used to his arrogant attitude, so he dutifully explained what he had to explain, and then he and the nurse packed up their things and opened the door and went out.
I met someone standing at the door of the ward.
The doctor was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Ms. Nie."
Nie Qingru asked: "How are people?"
The doctor knew that she had a good background, but he didn't know who she was and didn't want to ask, so he said politely: "The patient's health is improving, but her legs..."
"you say."
"His leg has been injured and has never recovered. It is said that if he recovers well, he may still be able to walk in the future."
"But he was injured again before he recovered, which made his leg disease more serious. I don't know when he will recover. Even if he can... he won't recover well."
Nie Qingru knew from the earliest that Nie Qixing's legs would be permanently disabled.
Experts said at the time that even the most optimistic outcome after rehabilitation would be a slight lameness.
But now...
The meaning behind the doctor's words was very clear. No matter how he recovered in the future, Nie Qixing would be severely disabled. Like Lu Zhi, he might be unable to live without a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Her successor...may be slightly lame.
But if Nie Qixing is completely disabled...
Nie Qingru rubbed her brows and waved the doctor to go first: "I understand."
The doctor and nurse walked away pushing the physiotherapy cart.
Shadow vaguely guessed what she was thinking, her heart was beating fast, and she opened her mouth and said: "Young Master Qi is still young. If these doctors are not good, there are always doctors who can."
This time Nie Qingru didn't answer, but silently opened the door and walked into the ward.
**
"Get out." Nie Qixing was lying on the hospital bed, thinking that the doctor had come in again, and scolded him irritably with a cold face.
Then I heard the shadow's voice: "Young Master Qi, the Queen is here to see you."
Nie Qixing's originally dull eyes quickly focused. When he saw the person in front of his hospital bed clearly, he forced himself to sit up: "Sister... you..."
Shadow couldn't bear to see it, so he stepped forward to help him.
"Master Qi, please be careful."
"Um."
Nie Qixing was looking at Nie Qingru the whole time, without even looking at him.
He didn't seem to expect that Nie Qingru would come. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He thought for a while and said, "The Privy Council didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Nie Qingru didn't know what to think, so she walked over and tucked him in, and said calmly: "No."
Nie Qixing could smell the scent of incense coming from her body. The heavy sandalwood scent should belong to an older woman, but it gave him endless charming fantasies.
He has been with Nie Qingru since he can remember. At first, he thought he was her son, but later he realized that he was her younger brother.
Obviously...the younger brother is also a blood relative.
But he just had a twisted fantasy that he couldn't extricate himself from.
"What's going on with that woman?" Nie Qingru didn't seem to notice anything. After standing up straight again, she suddenly asked.
Nie Qixing's eyes tightened. He looked up and saw the traces of time that could not be hidden on her face. His eyes flickered: "Just...an ordinary woman."
